Using Chakra Spiritual Jewelry in Meditation

Chakra spiritual jewelry is somewhat different from crystal jewelry because it is made specifically to target the seven or eight chakra points of the body.

Depending on which school of thought one follows there are seven or eight chakras in the human body. Hindu practice sites seven (and even six in some texts) while Tantric systems site eight chakras in the body. In either case all start at the base of the spine, or the tailbone area, and work their way up to the crown chakra, which is at the top of the head (or middle of the forehead).

If any of these are blocked the body often experiences discomfort or pain. For instance, if the crown chakra is blocked one may experience headaches, problems with memory or sleep disturbances, if the heart chakra is blocked one may experience constant bouts with sadness or depression, a general feeling of ill health or they may catch colds and the flu easily and often.

Chakra spiritual jewelry allows the wearer to enhance spiritual healing by unblocking, soothing, or improving the chakras while going about their usual tasks during the day or night. The jewelry can be worn around the neck in pendants, in the ears with earrings, on the head as bindis or headbands, around the waist in belly chains or belly rings or on the fingers in the form of rings.

Stones for making Chakra jewelry

Chakra spiritual jewelry can be made with a variety of stones that are said to unblock the chakras or enhance their power, depending on what you need. According to spirituality information chakra jewelry can be made with either stones chosen by the wearer from types that enhance each chakra or by color.

There are many combinations of crystals that are considered “chakra crystals,” and can expedite spiritual healing. One configuration, in the eight chakra system is as follows:

Rock crystal is used for the top of the head (Sahasrara chakra) Amethyst is used for the center of the forehead (Bindu chakra), Sodalite for the eyebrow area (Ajna), Blue Agate for the neck or throat (Vishuddha chakra), Green Aventurine for the heart area (Anahata chakra), Citrine for the navel (Manipura chakra), Carnelian for the tailbone (Swadhisthana chakra) and Red Jasper for the genital area (Muladhara chakra). Another combination could be, Amethyst for the crown (7th), Lapis Lazuli for the brow/forehead (6th), Indigo for the throat (5th), Rose Quartz for the heart (4th), Citrine for the navel (3rd), Carnelian for the genital area (2nd), and Black Onyx for the root/tailbone (1st).

Other practitioners choose the chakra stone or crystal by its color, for instance, in a seven chakra system the tailbone would require a black, brown or red stone, the genital area a red or orange stone, the navel would take a yellow stone, the heart a pink or green stone, the throat a blue colored stone, the eyebrow a purple stone and, lastly, the crown or top of head a clear, colorless or “white” stone such as quartz crystal. This second method allows for more flexibility when choosing which stones to aid in clearing the chakras and opening the flow of energy.

Spirituality information suggests holding the chakra spiritual jewelry made of the stone of choice over the chakra you wish to enhance or heal to see if your body reacts negatively or positively to the stone. If you feel uncomfortable at all, then that is not the proper stone for that chakra point or for you specifically,and you should try another. You may wear chakra spiritual jewelry at all points at once or you may choose to work on individual chakras at a time.

In addition to using traditional gems and crystals for chakra spiritual jewelry to heal the chakra points another great alternative is to use Mustika stones or pearls. Mustika can and are used in the same way that crystals are for spiritual healing, opening and enhancing the chakras that chakra spiritual jewelry is. Their various hues and elements may be matched up with the elements represented by each chakra.

For instance, the tailbone or root chakra’s element is the Earth so an excellent Mustika pearl for this chakra would be an Earth Dragon pearl, or one of the many plant pearls, since they come from the Earth. The second chakra is associated with water, thus Water Mustika pearls, dew pearls or those from sea creatures such as fish would be perfect choices for cleansing and healing this area. The navel chakra is represented by fire, thus a Fire Dragon pearl would work very well. The heart chakra is adjoined with air, Air Dragon pearls are not only beautiful, but they represent this chakra precisely.

Whether you decide to work on the chakras one by one or all at once with chakra spiritual jewelry or spiritual jewelry made with Mustika pearls, be sure to research the stone or pearl carefully and be sure they are coming from a reliable source and that they are the correct color or type needed for your specific chakra needs.
